Abstract
A method of controlling a process driven by a control signal for producing a corresponding output includes producing an error signal as a function of a state of the process and of a reference signal. A control signal is generated as a function of the error signal and of a parameter adjustment signal. The control signal is applied to the process. A derived signal representative of a quantity to be minimized is calculated by processing paired values of the state of the process and the control signal. A correction signal is calculated from a set of several different values of the control signal that minimizes the derived signal. The parameter adjustment signal is calculated by a neural network and fuzzy logic processor from the error signal and the correction signal. The correction signal is periodically calculated by a Quantum Genetic Search Algorithm that results from a merging of a genetic algorithm and a quantum search algorithm.
